Rule Changes:• Defenses will not be changed after every match. Defenses will be changed about every 15 minutes. Defense selection will be made by the Field Supervisor.

• No portcullis will be in play. FIRST has deem them to be unsafe.

• Light robot inspection. An additional 10 pounds and ¼” robot frame perimeter allowances will be acceptable. Teams are on an honor system. Even though the rules inspection will be light…all robots will have a safety inspection before they are allowed on the field.
